I am a permanent resident of the USA, not an American citizen

Question: I am a permanent resident of the USA, not an American citizen. Six months ago your firm filed a visa petition for my wife. We were informed that a visa number was not available for my wife. Upon your advice I have now obtained my American citizenship, what is the next step?

Answer by U.S. Immigration Legal Advisors in Bangkok Thailand: We simply notify DOS of your new status as an American Citizen and provide a copy of your certificate of naturalization. Upon DOS receipt a visa number will become available immediately. DOS will then initiate processing that will result in your wife’s visa being issued within three months.
